Abstract

Compliant motion reverser plays a significant role in the field of micro-electromechanical systems, micro-measurement, and biological engineering. Traditional motion reverser is designed based on topology optimization, which is complicated and time-consuming. This paper presents a new compliant monolithic motion reverser by resorting to the rigid-body replacement method to realize the inversion of displacement and force. The rhombic four-bar linkage is replaced with double-layer leaf-shaped compliant hinges, and the structure layout has been designed to reduce the stiffness of the whole mechanism. Then, the geometric advantage, mechanical advantage, and natural frequency of the motion reverser have been derived based on pseudo-rigid-body model. To validate the performance of the designed motion reverser, finite element analysis simulation has been conducted with ANSYS software. The simulation results show that the developed mechanism has a good working performance with a geometric advantage of − 0.9904, a mechanical advantage of − 0.9903, and a natural frequency of 377.05 Hz. The proposed motion reverser is promising to act as the inverter of displacement and force in micromanipulation.
